Arbutus College

Compared to Sprott Shaw College, Arbutus College is much smaller and more than 90% of students are International students and they are from over 20 different countries. They only have a Vancouver downtown campus and about 250 students are studying there.

Because they are a smaller college and specialized in international student education, course options are a lot more geared towards international students.

Arbutus College was established in 2002, with the key objective to provide students a unique business and communication educational structure not available elsewhere in Vancouver. In 2011, Arbutus College became part of Educo international education group

The 12 month Co-op Diploma is one of the most popular programs available at Arbutus College. They offer 4 specializations that you can choose from. You can download the program brochure and see the course details according to the specializations you are interested in.

The Co-op Diploma programs have a 6 month co-op term. Anyone eligible for paid co-op placement should consider this program so that you are available for a 6 month co-op placement term. You will find more information about it on OVERVIEW, BOOKING DETAILS, and CAREER SERVICE FOR STUDENTS page.

Students who do not meet the requirements for paid co-op can still choose to sign up for the Co-op Diploma program with an unpaid co-op placement.
